RAID is Going to the Dogs for Charity

RAID Gaming, Ireland’s leading esports operator, is hosting its first charity stream on October 27th, with proceeds going to Dogs Trust Ireland. The ‘Spooky Night In’ event, which kicks off at 9 pm, will see two of the organisation’s commentators, David “Whymsy” Whyms and Rob “Gosu Dreams” Price, play through a number of suitably spooky games in order to raise funds for the doggos.

To add a bit of extra spice to proceedings, neither participant will know what games they’ll be playing until the event starts, so there’ll be no chance to pre-prepare for those jump scares. “RAID will be donating for each and every jump and swear from the duo on the night and you’ll have the opportunity to pitch in too,” the organisation’s official release promised. Proceedings can be watched live on the night at https://twitch.tv/WatchRaid.

Established in Ireland in 2005, Dogs Trust is the country’s largest dog welfare charity. In 2009 they opened a state of the art rehoming centre in Finglas, Co. Dublin from which they’ve helped thousands of dogs find their forever homes. The charity receives no government funding for their efforts relying instead on the goodwill of a network of donors and supporters.

As part of RAID’s ‘Spooky Night In’ event, “All funds raised will go directly to Dogs Trust Ireland, with a letter of commendation for their great work with your name attached as a donator. Each donator who donates €10 or more will also be recognised permanently as a Gaming Ambassador of Goodwill on the RAID website!” If you’re interested in learning more about Dogs Trust Ireland and the work they do, you can find all the information you need at www.dogstrust.ie
